The Provident Royal Commonwealth of the United Transeisdzarian & Saka Nations, informally the Transeisdzarian Commonwealth (also referred to as the Kingdom of the Rift, the Commonwealth, or the Rift), is a sovereign state of the Small Magellanic Cloud. Its territorial space encompasses the majority of the known settled space of the Great Rift and beyond, bordering the Phoenix Empire along the coreward limits of the nebula and the CoDominium at the terminus of the Negev-Ruhazani lines. The Commonwealth is the fourth-largest state of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Its government is described as a federal union with a common monarch. The Official and Royal Capital is the system of Concordia's March, with the warship SMS Mikado serving as the auxiliary administrative and legislative seat. The current monarchs since 29 February 5323 - coinciding with the ratification of the February Constitution - are the twin Shahzadas Ardeshir and Saki, though their powers have been assumed by a Regency Council led by their mother Ravshana Marika al-Lasalle until the end of their minority. The Commonwealth consists of over two hundred autocephalous constellations in the Metropolitan Rift as well as a number of Crownland prefectures, direct administrative dependencies, along the Negev-Ruhazani lines.

Etymology & Terminology

The February Constitution declared the systems of the

Prior to unification the collective region was often generally referred to as the "Great Rift" or "Rift". Both are synonymous with the Transeisdzarian Commonwealth in common usage. The adjective Rifter is commonly used to describe matters related to the Commonwealth. It is without specific connotation but is used in official language to refer to Commonwealth citizenship. National identity is fluid, many choose to identify themselves as both being Rifter and a specific Constellation.

History

Settlement

Settlement of the Transeisdzarian region has been dated back to the first millennium A.E. from which emerged the Constellations of the Great Rift. The Constellations maintained loose association with each other and attempted to resolve international disputes through assemblies known as Things.

Contact with the Phoenix Empire

Contact with the Phoenix Empire began sometime in 3000 A.E. [Possible Hrang led invasion of PE?]. The erection of the Wall, a series of intensive fortifications along the lines leading to Transeisdzaria, attempted to control the flow of migrants and adventurers leaving the official boundaries of the Phoenix Empire.

Pasdaran

The Pasdaran (translated: Guard) is the honor title given to any Cosmoforce unit which has at any point assumed the responsibility of directly guarding the residences and person of the Shahzadas and the Grand Sejm. The Pasdaran predates both the short-lived Kingdom of the Rift and the R.a.R. Cosmoforce, originating in the duty details of the Lasalle Brigade assigned to protect Prince Hiroshi St. Rong ar-Phoenicia. Despite ceremonial appearances the troopers are operationally ready.

Normally a select few R.a.R. Regiments of the Old Guard provide the Pasdaran in a regular rotation.

• The Shahzada's Own XXV Sipahis
• The Shahdokht's Own LXIInd Hussars
• The Sehzade's Own LX Chevaux-légers Lanciers

However in principle any Commonwealth unit can provide the Pasdaran.

Pasradan Regiments are authorized a fifth battalion or squadron.
